What is Paediatric Urology?
Paediatric Urology is a surgical subspecialty dealing with the disorders of children's genitourinary systems. These problems may be present at birth or develop later after growth. Some conditions are minor and resolve on their own. At the same time, others may require surgical treatment. Unlike adult urology, paediatric urology requires a unique approach.
